The Korena take

A 10-foot eight-channel analog snake taking a DB25 connector out to eight female XLRs, for wiring converters and consoles to a patchbay or stage box.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Wiring an interface or converter's DB25 port to eight XLR connections
  • Cleaning up a rack where eight separate cables would be a mess
  • Permanent studio installs where the run is fixed at ten feet

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose gear has male XLR needs — these ends are female
  • Stage runs longer than ten feet
  • Gear with a DB25 wired to a non-standard pinout

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

DB25 to eight XLRs

One multi-pin connector replaces eight individual cables, so a whole eight-channel block moves on a single plug.

Detail 02

Female XLR ends

They accept male XLR plugs — the output side of mics, preamps and stage boxes.

Detail 03

25 AWG stranded conductors

Thin, seven-strand cores keep eight channels flexible in one jacket instead of stiff like eight separate cables.

Detail 04

Served spiral shield

A wrapped shield stays flexible and doesn't open gaps when the cable bends, unlike a stiff braid.

Detail 05

Electrostatic noise 2.5mV max, microphonics 50mV max

Handling noise and hum pickup are held low, which matters when eight low-level mic channels share one jacket.

Detail 06

Flexible PVC jacket, -20°C to +70°C

Stays workable in cold rooms and hot racks, so it isn't limited to climate-controlled installs.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your gear's DB25 pinout matches before ordering — wiring standards vary
  2. 02Ten feet fixed; measure rack to patchbay first
  3. 03All eight ends are female XLR, so male-input gear needs a different cable

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How many channels does it carry?

Eight, all through the single DB25 connector, breaking out to eight female XLRs at the other end.

02Does it work with my interface's DB25 port?

Only if the pinout matches. DB25 wiring isn't universal, so check your gear's documentation against the cable before ordering.

03Can I use it for mic inputs?

The female XLR ends accept male XLR outputs, and the shielding and low-noise figures suit low-level channels.

04How long is it?

Ten feet from the DB25 connector to the XLR ends.
